We got the new diff installed today. We didn't do a real write up and I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. Yesterday was a bit of a fiasco, and today we just wanted to get things done.
Certainly not supposed to see the gears from the outside :shock:

Cracked under where the collar lived - I still believe the collar kept everything together and allowed me to drive to where I could be retrieved by the tow truck

I was going to grab a couple of pictures of it installed, but we ran for dinner and a couple of errands... and by the time we got home, the daylight was nearly gone. I'll get a couple of pictures of it tomorrow. So far, so good though. I drove about 10-15 miles this evening after the install. Will let it cool down tonight, and then it'll be on daily driver duty again. Once we get to the campground at ECS next weekend, I'll drain and refill the gear oil - it will be well past the 500 mile break-in period by then.
